Vagabonding in America

This is my new favorite book. Lately I've been flipping through this non-stop, thinking about yurts and bicycle trips to Central America...still gotta get a basket for my bike...anyway, now that the sun doesn't set at 4:30 anymore, it seems like there's so much to do. Gotta figure out where to get some cheap camping equipment fast, gotta get the backyard ready for planting (seeds started: check), gotta think about what flowers to plant as soon as it's warm enough. On a drive from Rockford to Madison with my family a few days ago, we talked about what things to plant, when to plant them, how to take care of them. We talked about making cheese and having birthday parties. The sun was setting in a vivid orange over that straight horizon line and the trees looked black. Then it got dark and my dad said "We'll just cross over the road and then we'll be almost home".
